Property tax installments

On this page

Overview

Florida law allows payment of real estate taxes and tangible personal property taxes through an installment plan if your estimated tax due is $100 or more. This plan allows you to pay your taxes in four quarterly installments instead of once per year.

The first and second quarterly installments are based on the prior year's gross tax. The third and fourth quarterly installments reflect adjustments to the tax amount after certification of the new year's tax roll.

Apply for installment plan

To participate in the installment plan, you must submit an application to our office on or before April 30. For example, if you wish to participate for the 2018 tax year, you must apply by April 30, 2018.

As long as you make your first installment payment no later than June 30, you do not need to reapply each year to stay on the installment plan. If you miss the June 30 deadline, you will default to the annual payment plan and may apply for the installment plan again for the following year.
